That toaster looks older than the one I got during the soviet occupation and everything from then looks 30 years older.
No idea if I got ADHD or not but these memes are very relatable...
I do both: I worry about every detail and try to account and plan for everything which all usually falls apart because it feels like too many things and then I'm left with improvising everything on the last moment.
Google still works in languages other than English, like my workaround has been to just search in Estonian and I'll usually actually get better results and like zero AI content (AI sucks at Estonian, can't even get grammar right). So if you wanna use Google learn an obscure language.
Been to Russia and live on the border of it. Basically if you have a chance of beating Putin you aren't going to be an option to vote for. The part of the government who decides who will be the options is controlled by Putin. The approval is pretty much bullshit, I haven't asked everyone in Russia but I have yet to meet someone who supports Putin, especially after he invaded Ukraine.
How are contracts like this enforceable in the US? Like here you could have a clause like that but the moment you try to sue someone for working at a competitor the judge would just laugh at you and throw your ass out of court. You can't have just anything in a contract, just like if a contract breaks employment laws then it's not valid.
It depends on a lot of things. Something self-hosted would just cost the power and Internet you are already paying for but if you're renting the hosting and maybe even get development for your site it could cost a ton.
US files war crime charges against Russians accused of torturing an American in the Ukraine invasion
I guess the US has more luck running a case where they have access to one side at least but it's not like this does anything as the US has no power to charge Russian citizens not in the US. Like this would sound more meaningful if the US worked with international institutions for this like the International Criminal Court in Hague for example.
US files war crime charges against Russians accused of torturing an American in the Ukraine invasion
Hasn't Russia tortured like every pow at this point? Why is this special?
He was literally voted out by their parlament by like 300 to 0 votes and the only country calling it a coup was Russia.
If by illegally remove you mean he was passing laws that would have made him a defacto dictator which in turn triggered protests that he violently put down triggering massive protests causing him to flee then yes.
Without aid Ukraine would lose more lives.
Why did you ignore the part where I said that the profits for grocery stores soared? Producing food has not become more expensive, that's all public info here.
Yea, price capping is as much communism as having public healthcare and when the price of electricity was capped it lowered the prices massively.
What was going on was the local power companies made deals with other countries and basically acted as middle men for reselling that power for a massive markup. Our government made a mandatory power plan that forces power companies to produce electricity locally for local supply at a fixed price and that pretty much fixed that. Those companies couldn't sell power at a massive markup anymore because everyone would just switch to the government power plan then.
The government capped the price of electricity here a short while ago and that lowered the price of power massively.
Seems the solution would be to cap the price of all food then.
Farmers yes, grocery stores not anymore. Profits of companies is public info here and they started racking it in the moment the massive 'inflation' started. My parents live near a farm and they just buy veggies directly from them for like a fraction of the price, I unfortunately live in a city though. Prices are better at local markets but there arent many of those.
Yea we have a food inflation pretty close to those measured numbers though in reality its a lot higher and that's without any caps. Also how could a food price cap cause inflation in food prices? That's literally the thing you are capping.
Most food here is locally produced, I don't see how that would create a shortage. Like people aren't going to sell their grocery stores cuz their margins are thin again and farming is so heavily subsidised that I don't see it effecting farmers.
I wish my country's government had the testacles to cap prices on food. I order food mostly online and I compared prices from 2 years ago and most things are at least 200% more expensive, cheese for example is like 600% though.
I'm not even talking about the famines soviet incompetence caused and deliberately worsened. Their death camps killed 1-8 million people, nobody knows exactly how many because, unlike the nazies, soviet records were absolute garbage and all accounts come from guards and prisoners. They also tried to destroy the culture and language of the occupied areas and replace the local population with Russians.
Not a meme considering exactly that happened, they agreed to divide Europe between themselves and not attack each other. Stalin absolutely wanted an alliance with Hitler and nothing indicates he was interested in fighting Hitler until he invaded. He got rid of Jewish diplomats to make Hitler happy. When Hitler invaded he refused to act since he did not want to believe that his ally betrayed him. I don't doubt Hitler intended to break their alliance. Also are you saying if no one else wants to ally with you then allying with nazies is a good idea?
